Aura watch

"All Blacks leave it late at Twickenham but watching world will take note of their diminished air of invincibility"
I didn't realize invincibility was a broad spectrum.

Just getting g round to watching ABXV v Georgia.

Richard Cockrill in IV before the game when asked if they prepare differently than for any other team.

Aura still intact enough that the NH include wins over the ABs when rating a players career alongside 6 Nations trophies etc - Cian Healy tying with Coulda Doid for the most capped Irish player.

According to the BBC Andy Farrell has "such an aura". Is the same as our aura or a different one? Has our aura been whoring out again?
